/etc/mail/aliases root alias

Hello everyone, Thanks for the help on this. I want to setup some wsm monitoring so I am selecting the option to notify the root user which looks at the /etc/mail/aliases root
line. I get the email but nothing comes to the phone. I would of expected I would get some notification. We use the mail command to send information to these verizon phones we have but this is not working. I haven't seen how to make this work. My assumption is its not an email going to it, but a SMS/test message. Having the root
being emailed is one thing, but we want to get texted for critical alerts. i dont see in wsm where you can send to a phone directly either. Rich
